Good Luck.
biggest protests Brazil has seen for decades are taking place in its streets. Many of them are happening outside soccer stadiums. Brazil is currently hosting Confederations Cup – FIFA World Cup test event. While Brazil's team beat Mexico 2-0 on Tuesday night, thousands of protesters were in streets outside stadium. There were around 100,000 more people protesting around Brazil at same time. They are unhappy with many things about life in their country. protests started last week in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo because of increase in bus fares. They soon spread across country. People are also angry about cost of 2014 World Cup, poor public services, and corruption.

Protests across country are getting bigger and bigger. police are taking tougher actions to control crowds. Police used rubber bullets, tear gas and beatings, which have made people angrier. Many of protestors want government to spend more money on health and education and less on World Cup. BBC reported seeing banner that read: " teacher is worth more than Neymar" (Brazil's star player). One of banners in crowd at Brazil-Mexico game asked FIFA (the World Cup organisers) to bring hospitals to Brazil instead of stadiums. Another Brazilian star, striker Hulk, said: "After seeing people on streets…it makes me feel like joining them. They are doing right thing."
